1 Matters of Life and Death Knowledge Organiser Sanctity of Life Christian teachings on Sanctity of Life on Sanctity of Life Humanist view on Sanctity of Life 1) Sanctity of Life All life is sacred and a gift from God. God gives life and God takes it away. All made in the image of God You knit me together in my mother s womb I knew you before you were born Life is not created by God therefore it is not sacred. Humans are special though because they been reborn as a human and they are closer to enlightenment. Humans are special but not because they were created by God. We have a duty to be kind and compassionate to all humans. 2) When does life begin? Conception When the sperm and egg meet Quickening When first movements can be felt (9 weeks) Ensoulment Some believe a foetus receives it soul at around 19 weeks. Viability When a foetus if born could survive outside the womb. (24 weeks currently) Birth 40 weeks after conception 3) Law on Abortion Two doctors Up to 24 weeks if it will affect mental or physical health of the mother or her existing children. Up to 40 weeks if the mothers life is at risk or the foetus has a severe disability. Father has no rights Roman Catholic View Roman Catholic View Church of England View Church of England View Buddhist View Buddhist View Buddhist View Humanist View 4) Religious views on Abortion No Abortion. It is a sin. Life begins at conception, therefore it is murder. Thou shall not kill Abortion goes against the Sanctity of Life. God gives life and takes it away. Abortion is wrong, but if it is the lesser of two evils it is allowed. Support the mother s choice Love thy neighbour and treat others how you want to be treated Abortion is wrong, life begins at conception therefore it is murder Do not harm any living being Causes Dukkha to the foetus and Blind Turtle Story reminds us that all humans are lucky to be reborn as a human, so do not destroy. Some Buddhists might allow it for Right Intention if the pregnancy would cause the mother more dukkha. There is no one humanist view. They would look to do the most loving thing in each situation. Many humanists are pro-choice, believing a woman has the right to choose what happens to her body.

2 Matters of Life and Death Knowledge Organiser 5) Euthanasia terms Euthanasia Easy death. The act of killing or permitting the death of a person who is suffering from a serious illness. Voluntary A person asks for help to die. Active A person takes an action to end their own life eg an overdose Involuntary A person is unable to choose to authorise euthanasia eg coma Passive Withdrawing treatment that is keeping the person alive. 6) The Law on Euthanasia Illegal in the UK for active euthanasia Legal for Passive euthanasia if authorised by medical professionals Living wills or Do Not Resuscitates (DNRs) are written by some, outline that they do not want medical assistance if anything happens to them. Switzerland Legal for euthanasia with strict conditions. 2 doctors must authorise and counselling given. 7) Arguments for and against Euthanasia For Against Free will Makes vulnerable people feel a burden Poor Quality of life Slippery Slope to others wanting to commit euthanasia for invalid reasons (inheritance/burden) Animals can be put to sleep why No need for people to suffer. Use a can t humans? hospice for palliative care. Expensive life support in It is murder. hospitals Most Christians Most Christians Most Christians Some Liberal Christians Humanist view 8) Religious Views on Euthanasia Euthanasia is not acceptable because all life is sacred (sanctity of life). It is murder and goes against Thou shall not kill Suffering should be accepted like Jesus had to suffer. There will be no suffering in heaven. Suggest that people suffering should go to a hospice where support can be given. Some would argue that helping someone die when they wanted to as love they neighbour and they would argue that Jesus showed love and compassion to people. Euthanasia is wrong because it goes against the precept Do not kill or harm a living being. Buddhists will receive bad karma in their next life if they take this action. Some Buddhist agree with euthanasia due to metta. Show a person loving kindness and karuna when they make the decision Some Buddhists argue that it is removing dukkha and therefore acceptable. Humanists support the right to die. They believe people should die with dignity. It is their human right and choice.

3 Issues of Life and Death Knowledge Organiser Who? Where? How? Why? Humans Who? How? Why? Humans Who? How? Humans 9) Christian creation of the World God Genesis Over 7 days God spoke and created different aspects of creation. Everything was planned by God with a purpose. Humans were a special part in creation. God breathed life into Adam and made them in his image. Adam was made from the dust, and Eve from Adam s rib as his helper. Humans were told to be stewards of the world. 10) Buddhism creation of the World No creator No point asking how the world was created because there are no answers (Poisoned arrow story) The universe has always existed and life is a cycle of births and deaths, changing and developing. All beings need to aim to reach enlightenment and nirvana. 11) Humanist/Science creation of the World No creator Science Big Bang Big Bang 15 billion years ago. Stephen Hawking, the universe began from a single point and expanded. Over time the universe expanded and formed planets. The universe is still expanding (background radiation) Evolution Charles Darwin studied creatures changing over time. Survival of the fittest, allowed certain creatures to survive and breed. Humans are not special, they have struggled into existence from simpler life forms. Conservative Christians Liberal Christians Design Argument Environmental Sustainability Humanists Christians Buddhists 12) Christian response to Science and Religion Read the bible literally. God created the world exactly as it says in Genesis. The Bible is Godbreathed and is precise and accurate. Bible should be interpreted as not historically accurate. They acknowledge that the creation of the world and humans was started by God but through the Big Bang and Evolution. Fossils evidence for evolution. Liberal Christians use the Design Argument to emphasise that God created the world. William Paley, watch needs a designer as it is complicated, the universe is complicated and so needs a designer also. Universe too precise to just come into existence through the Big Bang and Evolution. 13) Environmental Sustainability Natural resources should be used but protected so that all people, animals and plant life can live well now and in the future. Humanists for a better life They campaign for climate change and the environment. All humans should care for the planet moral duty and need to for future generations. God made the world and it was good. God told humans to be stewards (care and responsibility) Till the earth and keep it Campaign for Green issues. Dominion over the planet take responsibility. Love thy Neighbour. Care for the planet because of pratitya (everything is dependent). Should care for the planet Right Action to gain good karma. Don t want to cause dukkha for future generations. Buddhist Action Month (June) to care for the world and social justice.

4 Issues of Life and Death Knowledge Organiser Soul Evidence of a soul Dualism Ensoulment Spiritual Resurrection Bodily resurrection Jesus Catholics Heaven Hell 14) Christian View on Life after Death Spiritual aspect of a being. This is the non-physical part that lives beyond a physical death. God breathed life in to Adam Made in the image of God animals weren t The belief we are made of two separate parts. The moment when the human soul is said to enter the baby s body. Many Christians believe that upon death the soul will rise to everlasting life in heaven. The body rots on earth. St Paul The physical body is perishable, the spiritual body is imperishable As Jesus rose from the dead, some Christians believe in a bodily resurrection. Upon death, the soul will rise to heaven but on Judgement Day the soul will go back to its body and rise as a physical body. Jesus said I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives believing in me will never die Good souls go straight to heaven. Most go to purgatory where they will be cleansed. Prayers are said for those in purgatory. Sheep and Goats story talks about those who support vulnerable and needy people will be given eternal life in heaven. I will see you in paradise Jesus told the criminals they could go to paradise. There are many rooms in my father s house Some Christians believe it is a physical/literal place. Being in God s presence. The opposite of heaven constant torment. An absence of God. Soul Rebirth Nirvana Actions Life on earth Soul Afterlife? Prayers for the dying person Roman Catholics last communion I am the resurrection and the life Some Burial only 15) Buddhist View on Life after Death No permanent soul (anatta) Rebirth is the key to breaking away from the endless cycle (samsara) of birth, growth decay and death State of mind after enlightenment where greed, hatred and ignorance cease. Buddhists will try to follow the 8fold path to get good karma to improve their next life outcome. Buddhists should focus on how they live their life not what lies in the future. 16) Humanist View on Life after Death No evidence of a soul. Humanists are materialists (physical body only) No afterlife. No empirical evidence of an afterlife. When a human dies, it is the end. 17) Christian Funerals Rites Asking God for forgiveness Sacraments important. Those who believe will be resurrected and go to heaven. If they believe in a bodily resurrection, then need their bodies for the Last day when the souls return to their bodies.

5 Issues of Life and Death Knowledge Organiser 18) Buddhist Funeral Rites Transferring merit Theravadan Buddhists will chant each day for 7 days after death so that the living can help the dead gain good merit. Binding hands and feet and held by the monks Chanting for 49 days Sky burial Funeral anywhere Readings and Songs Life of the person told, no readings from sacred texts Theravadan s do this to connect the monk to the deceased to support the transferring of merit. Buddhists will chant daily. It is believed it takes 49 days for the persons energy to be reborn. Tibetan Buddhists feed the body to the vultures. It shows pratitya (all life is interdependent). 19) Humanist Funeral Rites Funeral can take place anywhere as there is no need for a sacred place. The place is usually important to the person. Personal choices showing that life is the most important thing, often it will remind people of the person. No belief in God. Just focus on the memory and life of the person.
